In Japan, national anime until the 80's. Currently a work of some fans. In the 70's and 80's Japan had a lot of great anime. Still, Moomin was exceptional. Today, even in Japan, the old works are being pretended to have never existed. It is unfortunate.

Tove Jansson actually didn't approve of this version, so it wasn't broadcasted outside Japan. There were human characters (those don't exist), cars (terrible, ik), a lot of violence (even killing) and paying with cash (we all know Moominvalley is an anarchist commune) fun fact: one of the animators who worked on the show was Hayao Miyazaki

[@Yurikon3]

are we just going to ignore that the first thing little my decided to do when she got a gun was shoot at three baby birds in a nest 💀

[@bluedragon452]

Even worse, sentient birds. That would essentially be a kid shooting three slightly younger kids. I mean the eagle dad could communicate perfectly with Snufkin, Moomin and the rest of the villagers. LMy is definitely terrible in this version, didn't even think twice about pinning the blame on someone else about that fire either. Regardless if it meant Snufkin was run out of town and beaten (or worse, killed!). Terrible.

The difference between the Swedish moomin and the Japanese version is never more obvious than in this episode. Conflict, good and evil against one another, conditional love dependant upon action, and the fear of foreigners, traveller's, all on the Japanese side. And then blind naivety on the Swedish one. Diverse cultures with different experiences and needs. Both beautifully made and constructed
